Annapurna Circuit Trek

As we head out from the ‘city of lakes’ Pokhara through charming terraced villages brimming with life, we trek for several days to go between Machhapuchhre and Hiunchuli. This is a massive ice laden cirque that forms some of the uppermost mountains in the world, including the dominating South Face of Annapurna. We spend some time exploring, as we check out the famous Annapurna Base Camp, situated at 4,130m/13,550ft.

This inspiring amphitheatre of the Annapurna Sanctuary attracts hordes of trekkers each year.

The trip begins with a flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara the following day to embark on our trekking. We can also cruise down a scenic highway to Pokhara as an option instead of flying. While on the trails, we are constantly enclosed with immense Himalayan peaks soaking wet with glaciers. In a nutshell, this would be a fantastic deal for ‘greenhorn trekkers’, where we bunk out the highest night at an elevation of 3,700m.
